Shiite politicians demand Iraq government changes after arrest of Sunni leader's bodyguard

Shiite politicians demand Iraq government changes after arrest of Sunni leader's bodyguard - iht,africa,Iraq - Africa & Middle East - International Herald Tribune
Published: October 1, 2006


BAGHDAD, Iraq Shiite politicians demanded changes in the Iraqi government, accusing a Sunni Arab party in the coalition of ties to terrorism after a bodyguard of its leader was arrested on suspicion of planning bomb attacks.

The dispute that arose Sunday threatened a sectarian crisis within the national unity government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, which is struggling to contain spiraling Shiite-Sunni killings that the U.S. ambassador said have surpassed Sunni insurgent attacks in deadliness.

After the bodyguard's arrest, an unprecedented surprise curfew was imposed on Baghdad on Saturday, preventing pedestrians as well as vehicle traffic. The curfew was lifted early Sunday.

At least 23 people were killed in violence Sunday, and 21 bodies were found in Baghdad or to the south, many of them bound and tortured. In the evening, gunmen burst into a frozen food factory in Baghdad, kidnapping 24 workers and wounding two others — similar to past attacks in which militants have picked out members of the opposing sect from among the captives and killed them.

The U.S. military also reported Sunday that two American soldiers were killed the day before in fighting in western Anbar province — bringing to at least 70 the number of U.S. troops killed in September, the second highest monthly toll this year after April, when 76 died.

Iraqi troops backed by American military advisers arrested a suspected Shiite militiaman believed to have carried out kidnappings and killings. A gunbattle broke out at the suspect's house in Baghdad's Shiite stronghold of Sadr City, leaving a woman and a young girl dead, Iraqi police said.

Afterward, angry men at the scene held up a color photo of a smiling, winking Jesus giving a "thumbs up" sign that they said was left by troops at the raided house — an allegation denied by U.S. and Iraqi officials.

The photo, known as the "Buddy Christ," is from the movie "Dogma," a 1999 religious satire in which "Buddy Christ" is part of a church campaign to improve Jesus' image.

U.S. military spokesman Lt. Col. Barry Johnson said the photo was a "rather ridiculous attempt" to discredit the raid. It was unclear how it ended up at the site.

The potential government crisis erupted after U.S. troops on Friday arrested a bodyguard of Sunni politician Adnan al-Dulaimi, saying the man was suspected of leading an al-Qaida-linked cell that was "in the final stages" of carrying out a string of bombings in Baghdad's fortified Green Zone, the center of government and home to the U.S. and British embassies.

Al-Dulaimi heads the Iraqi Accordance Front, the main Sunni Arab party with 44 seats in the 275-member parliament and positions in al-Maliki's government, including a supporter in the Defense Minister post.

The government also includes Shiite parties linked to militias accused of killing Sunnis — and the arrest threatened to wreck al-Maliki's attempts to forge a reconciliation between the sects that could rein in the militias as well as Sunni insurgent violence.

"We are faced with two choices, either militias or the nation. We will not allow the dignity of the nation to be violated," the Shiite prime minister said Sunday in an interview with Al-Hurra TV, which is funded and overseen by the State Department.

U.S. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad and the top U.S. commander in Iraq, Gen. George Casey, sought to contain the political fallout, underlining in a joint statement that "the arrested individual had no ties to al-Dulaimi's family, nor is al-Dulaimi connected in any way to the suspect activities of the individual."

But Baha el-Deen al-Araji, a lawmaker from the party of radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, accused Sunni politicians of having "direct and indirect links to Saddamists, Takfiris (Sunni radicals) and terrorists."

He demanded a "significant cabinet reshuffle" to change "ministries of security and public services dossiers."

"All our Sunni brothers have terrorist groups. This is destructive to the reconciliation process," another Sadrist lawmaker, Nasser al-Saadi, told The Associated Press. "We must stand up to them."

He said that if al-Dulaimi is shown to have links to al-Qaida "he should be treated as a terrorist." The lawmakers said parliament would discuss the arrest in a session on Monday.

Al-Dulaimi denied any connection to militants and said those trying to "defame" the Accordance Front should "be silent because any factor that leads to blow up this case would affect the entire national unity process."

Thousands of people have died in recent months in Shiite-Sunni killings, even as violence by Sunni insurgents continued. The top U.S. military spokesman in Iraq, Maj. Gen. William B. Caldwell, said Wednesday that over the preceding week suicide attacks were at their highest level ever.

Khalilzad said al-Qaida-linked militants had been weakened in recent months and that "a main part of the violence now is sectarian violence ... between death squads associated with militias."

Speaking on CNN's "Late Edition," he said al-Maliki's government "in the course of the next two months, has to make progress in terms of containing sectarian violence."

But he expressed optimism that with the prime minister's reconciliation plan and U.S.-Iraqi security efforts "next year the level of violence will be lower than this year."

Iraq's National Security Adviser Mouwafak al-Rubaie, meanwhile, said security forces were closing in on the leader of al-Qaida in Iraq Abu Hamza al-Muhajer, also known as Abu Ayyub al-Masri.

He succeeded slain militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi at the helm of the group, which is accused of some of the deadliest suicide bombings against Shiites.

"In a very short time, we will bring you the good news of Abu Ayyub al-Masri either killed or handcuffed to be brought before the Iraqi justice system," he said.

He showed what he called an al-Qaida instructional CD found this week in a raid south of Baghdad in which al-Masri is seen explaining how to build a car bomb.

"Your days are numbered and you will face your fate very soon," al-Rubaie said, addressing al-Masri.

Oil is the key - it brings in the investors, provides the country with the collaterol it needs to expand business, improve lives, and bring it's currency back up to a competitive rate -
It seems to me everyone - oil companies and countries included, are just waiting for the parliment to hammer out these laws and get them ratified and implemented.
My prediction - and it is just that - we will be waiting until the end of the year. These are huge, huge, issues that a very young government (four months old) is dealing with. I do not see it happening before the end of the year - but when it does it will be am impressive feat. These laws (oil, gas, fil, etc) MUST happen soon, and they are critical to Iraq moving forward. It is really do or die time - isn't that the impression you all are getting?
